1. Get safe first
- Switch on hazard lights and move as far left as you safely can.
- If you are on a highway, get everyone out on the side away from traffic and stand behind the crash barrier if there is one.
- Place the warning triangle well behind the car.
- At night, keep a torch or phone light on so you can be seen.
2. Call for help
If you have a roadside assistance plan, call the helpline and share your plan number, location (a map pin is best) and what happened. On national highways you can also call the NHAI helpline 1033.
In a medical emergency, call 112 first.
